| This is the implementation of the SystemV/Coherent filesystem for Linux. | |
| It implements all of | |
| - Xenix FS, | |
| - SystemV/386 FS, | |
| - Coherent FS. | |
| This is version beta 4. | |
| To install: | |
| * Answer the 'System V and Coherent filesystem support' question with 'y' | |
| when configuring the kernel. | |
| * To mount a disk or a partition, use | |
| mount [-r] -t sysv device mountpoint | |
| The file system type names | |
| -t sysv | |
| -t xenix | |
| -t coherent | |
| may be used interchangeably, but the last two will eventually disappear. | |
| Bugs in the present implementation: | |
| - Coherent FS: | |
| - The "free list interleave" n:m is currently ignored. | |
| - Only file systems with no filesystem name and no pack name are recognized. | |
| (See Coherent "man mkfs" for a description of these features.) | |
| - SystemV Release 2 FS: | |
| The superblock is only searched in the blocks 9, 15, 18, which | |
| corresponds to the beginning of track 1 on floppy disks. No support | |
| for this FS on hard disk yet. | |
